NJ Transit Engineer Strike Still Looms as Judge Declines Request for Injunction

A possible strike by New Jersey Transit engineers is still looming after a federal judge blocked the transit agency’s request for an injunction to stop engineers from walking off the job. The 500 members of the NJ Transit Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen are currently voting on whether to authorize a strike, with a voting deadline of Aug. 31. But the judge ordered the union to tell its members to show up for work on Labor Day, Sept. 4.
